There is now a Mennonite Church at one of the corners and the nearby settlement of Granton has a small diner named after the settlement on the north end of the village. And the 'Windfall Cemetary is located a few blocks south of the Church on Romadka Road.
History
Maple Works was located a half mile east of the village of Granton at the corner of Fremont and Romandka Roads.[1] In 1857, Nelson Marsh from Pennsylvania settled in the area, coming with an ox team by way of Sparta and cutting a temporary road through the forest. He established a farm and tavern which served as a stagecoach stopping place on the old stage route from Neillsville to Stevens Point which was established in 1858. Marsh was the first postmaster of Maple Works,[2] serving in that capacity until the post office was abolished in the 1890s. The name was initially intended to be Maplewood, but because of unclear handwriting the application for a post office was interpreted as Mapleworks and so remained.[3] When Granton was established in 1890, many buildings were moved from Mapleworks to the new village.[4]
